Rondo looks good

Yes!

Rybka won rounds 6 and 7 (but against weak programs with 0 points so far).

Interesting will be round 8 and round 9, because Rybka has to play against Junior and in round 9 against Shredder.

In Round 6 played Rondo vs. Shredder. What is the Result?

Thank You Zach! Great result for Rondo so far. With 2 wins in Rounds 8 and 9, Rondo should win
this WCCC.

Good Luck!

PS: Is possible to post the pgn "Rondo vs. Shredder"?

[zwegner]

Thanks.

Shredder played the strange 5. Qc7, which brought Rondo out of book quite quickly. Rondo was happy though.

[Eduard Nemeth]

Thank You!

My opinion: Poor Opening of Shredder. Many other moves are much better than Qc7?! After Bxf6 White had been good advantage! In my own games on playchess, with the same variant, I had often a good advantage with white pieces (with my only core 2 duo) against stronger hardware. That says all!

It is bizarre that the WCCC does not have a website with real time game play and final standings!

[Eduard Nemeth]

At time Blitz Tournament is running!

Leader at moment is Jonny with a win against Rondo.

In first round Rybka-cluster crashed, with a Mate in 12 against Rondo, and Rondo won the game on time.

We will now see who will be the Blitz WCCC 2010?

[Peter C]

So Zach, will Rondo become commercial after the WCCC, or is it going to remain private? It had better not remain private.
